You can get CFLs in daylight version, marked as daylight or 6500K.
Daylight tinted lighting is however hideous. Halogens come nowhere

I've tended to find that "daylight" lighting means lighting with a
colour temperature equivalent to a dull, cloudy day, which isn't what
I need to cheer me up. Halogen is far nicer as it gives a much
"sunnier" light. The tubes used on First Great Western's trains are
particularly hideous.
